My promises to you are the same promises I have made and kept in all my judicial campaigns. I promise to be fair, to read the Constitution as it is written, and to interpret statutes according to the intent of the General Assembly. With all my heart I believe that only legislators should make law. If you review my work as a justice on the Supreme Court of North Carolina and as a judge on the North Carolina Court of Appeals, you will find a record of fairness, impartiality, devotion to the rule of law, and good old fashioned hard work.
